Just curious, what is the difference with this MMS.apk? I have trouble receiving PNG's using the stock MMS app periodically, wondering if this has some sort of fix for that. TIA :laugh:

I got it to send when I was on slim. They have "privacy gaurd" I had to manually give it permission to write SMS. The only bug was it would show me sending two messages. The recipient would only receive one.

I'm guessing you meant nexus 4, anyway why not just compare 2 aosp messaging apps from the nexus 4, one before kitkat and one after kitkat and see what xml/smali changes there are. That will at least get you started.

If I had the know how I would do it. @Xdevillived666 tried some stuff and couldn't get it to work. I don't even know where to start with decompiling. Don't really have the time to learn right now. Feel free to take a crack at. It would make a lot of people happy to get this working.

Just as a suggestion you might want to look into an app called Smart Messenger. It is in beta right now but the developer is very responsive and is very polished and functional. It will soon have the ability to theme every visual aspect of the app as well. It does MMS and all that as well as custom inbox's, filtering rules, archiving, and the ability to use google drive to send full size images from within the app if you want.

Did that but can't get certain things to gel (4.2 aspects to 4.4) as there's too big a disparity between the two I even tried simplifying the app by making just a dark holo themed one,but to no avail. I also took a look at the Google blog on kit Kat,because you ha e to have certain things included in the manifest,but no matter what I did,it wouldn't work.

So does the stock mms app from every other rom,but,unfortunately it aint got the customizations some of us would like :-/
So....
These are the steps I followed to try and incorporate bubbles into an already existing dark holo themed 4.4 mms
How to Make a Bubble MMS
This Tutorial will add-on to the other one, this will be for those a little more advanced or would like some help making their MMS all that much more better. So the instructions and requirements still apply.
So first thing you going to need to is decompile your MMS.
Code:
apktool d Mms.apk
First /Res/Drawable/listitem_background.xml
You're going to take that xml and copy it in the same folder so you should have listitem_background.xml and listitem_background-copy.xml. Then take the listitem_background-copy.xml and rename it listitem_backgroundsend.xml needs to be this exactly.
Then open up each and take the listitem_background.xml and find the last line of code
Code:
<item android:state_selected="false" android:drawable="@drawable/recv_bg"/>
Yours will say @android:color/black you will need to change it to reflect what mine says exactly. Then go to the listitem_backgroundsend.xml and find the same line of code and make it say this
Code:
<item android:state_selected="false" android:drawable="@drawable/sent_bg" />
Yours will again say something similar to the last line, make sure to name it exactly. Save those and close em.
Next /Res/Layout/message_list_item_recv.xml and send.xml
You're going to open these two up and this will change the actual block that it uses and direct it to the new xml's. So open up recv first this one will only require one edit.
Look for
Code:
android:layout_height="@dimen/avatar_width_height" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
You will need to change the "true" to "false" this will keep the picture from stretching all the way to the other side of the screen and only wrap the text.
Then go ahead and open the send.xml, here we will make it direct the send image to the new xml that we made in the beginning.
Look for
Code:
android:id="@id/message_block" android:background="@drawable/listitem_background" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
You will want to rename "@drawable/listitem_background" to "@drawable/listitem_backgroundsend" this will direct it to that new xml to tell it where to grab the image. make sure to make the same edit from before changing the alightParentRight="false" . You will also want to MAKE SURE that android:layout_width="wrap_content" and not anything else, otherwise things get messy. Then save those and exit.
Now comes to the more involved part. Making the .9.png for recieve and send.
Go ahead and open up drawable-xhdpi and find the main messaging app icon. And select to edit with Gimp. IF you have gimp otherwise this part wont be very useful.. sorry.
Once thats done go ahead and go to Filters > Alpha to Logo > 3D outline. Once on that go ahead and make every number 1. By default it should be 5 10 5 make those all ones. Then make sure to hit the browse button and choose the very first box which should be white and title "clipboard". Hit okay and let it do its work. Then you will be left with a white outline and a white background. Then go up to Layers > Merge Down. Then Layers > Delete Layer. YES I KNOW IT WILL DELETE IT. Dont worry, just hit CTRL+Z twice. Then Once more hit Layers > Delete Layer and you should be left with JUST the white outline of the messaging icon. Save that or color it or whatever you want to do with it.
Now your going to need to go to your "tools" directory in the android-sdk. C:\android-sdk\tools then open select to run the draw9patch.bat it will open up a terminal then open up this giant Down arrow. Your going to want to drag and drop that image your created.
Now comes the fun part patching. This is way i do most of mine so feel free to just copy that.
I fill the bottom and the right side with a complete line on the boarder keeping in mind of where the context is on the right. And just a simple dot on the top and the left in the middle. Save that png and do it with the other one you should have made for send.
I have attached two sample's .9.pngs make sure to rename them properly.
Now rename both .9.pngs to recv_bg.9.png and sent_bg.9.png then keep those in the drawable-xhdpi folder. Close out of that folder and now build the APK.
This is the result I got after recompiling:

Server updates as of 1/26/09 below in post 2
1.5.1: Bug fixes. Fixed transparency issues with buttons. Added the option to remove fullscreen (just delete the file called fullscreen.txt from the application directory)
1.5: Speed Boost incorperated
1.5 Beta 3: Fullscreen. Added a "menu" to the program itself. The menu is Skinable. Start button and "terms" are now located locally. (read more here)
1.5 Beta 2: Private Testing 2/11/09
1.5 Beta 1: Private testing 2/10/09
Update 1.4: Cabbed it up, changed the Form's name (was K&J portal, now JAK Portal)
Update 1.3: Graphics Fully Implemented!
Update 1.2: Fixed some errors server side, and noticed that files are actually being opened sometimes instead of downloading..... working on a fix.
Update 1.1:
We went ahead and changed the program name to JAK Portal. Mainly this update is just a little bit nicer graphical interface.
We would love your feedback, you can leave it here in the thread or contact one of your dedicated xda developers as follows

If you like our work, consider donating something for the cause
(Donation links were attached to names above)
The New layout frees up space to allow us to add links for both vga and qvga downloads. If you find a download that is not compatible with vga, Let us know and we will look for a vga version or mark the file as qvga only.
-----IMPORTANT-----
Pie6 is not very kind to JAK Portal and nearlly renders it useless. We recommend using a different version.

lol kareem, i take no credit
anyways, nice
SWEEEEET Nice Kareem, Congrats!
so it's basicly an embedded browser (PIE) window that goes to a certain (opendir) url?
my feedback:
* no landscape support, i get double scrollbars.
* it doesn't ask to download a file, but instead displays it's contentsad as plain text. this makes the program totally useless
will wait for a fixed version.
I assume the games/apps are demo's or freeware apps?

Obviously all are freeware and a few demos. I tested the program out on my ROM and it works perfectly. I used to have a text problem and then it was fixed.
Great app!!!
Is this device specific?
Works good for me with opera on fuze. Will you be adding more cabs? Or have a way for others to add cabs? Maybe by submitting to you for approval/adding?

I'll defintely add more cabs as they accumulate. If there was a way to have people add cabs without giving out the username and password (know some might want to jack or abuse the account), i'd be more than happy to.
So did you just create a program that would parse information from what ever server you are using? (basically an internet browser)

Indeed, it was a little thing me and ather discussed. I gave him what was needed and he worked his magic.
I think it would be cool to have it parse information into images (instead of the dead text) Kind of like pocketcm does with sms, overlay the text on images. If You or ather are up to te code for it i would be more than happy to create the images.
...it would also be cool do be able to access several different "portals." This could also solve the issue of abuse vs opening it up for all to post.

If you have Resco File Explorer, try going to the directory and opening the .exe (open with option) with Opera.

updated first post again, forgot to mention graphic were optimized for qvga. (please report for other screen sizes.)
Fixed some server side issues things should run a little smoother now

Yeah, I wouldn't open it for everyone to add to. I was thinking that cabs could be submitted/sent to one of 3 of you. Then after you check it/approve it, that y'all will take care of adding it. That way no one else needs access, but you can have more cabs to add. This is similiar to how Installer and Cydia work for iphone apps. I have some themes I would like to add, let me know if its possible to point you to threads/links so they can be added.

Very nice, any chance of turning this into a skin for smart keyboard pro?
oldmanmoz said:
I know there are a few keyboard skins floating around xda but none were quite what i wanted so i designed this to compliment andy's rom.
It looks slightly flatter on the phone due to viewing angle differences (intentionally).
To install: backup then remove /system/app/LatinIME.apk and /system/app/LatinIME.odex and adb push attatched apk in it's place - you'll also need to open the keyboard settings before it will be loaded.

Thanks for the feedback - I don't like that the outlines almost disappear in bright sunlight but the alternative would look chunky in dim light.
Would this work if I used a root explorer instead?
Edit: root explorer doesn't work. I'm not surprised. Pushed the apk, looks good but it doesn't match my overall theme. Tried reversing to backed-up apk and odx but the phone can't see Android Keyboard after that. Is it because I copied the original using root explorer instead of pulling it via adb?

I'm not sure really, I've not tried to return to the original, merely saw no reason why it wouldn't revert. If your apk/odex are in the right place and have the correct permissions the only other thing i can think is to boot into recovery, clear the dalvik app cache and reboot.
Thinking out loud - When you backed up via root explorer were the odex/apk there? your sig says cynogen rom, is that deodexed already? if they weren't perhaps the keyboard is named something else, devoids was aime.apk if i remember correctly - and i did read somewhere having two gb-based keyboards causes conflicts, if so - try just removing LatinIME.apk then reopening settings etc.
No. They were both Latin apk and odex. I'll try clearing later, thanks.
On hindsight, what should the permissions be?
Edit: Nah, just pushing it back and correcting permissions then rebooting worked. Didn't clear. Thanks!

No problem, glad you fixed it.
Great skin, I like it very much!
But could you please share some more detailed information about how I can install it?
I don't know how to access /system folder and remove the files. Is it the "pull" command on adb, and if yes how can I backup the file?
I really don't know how to use adb so I would appreciate some more details.
First post updated to fix outstanding issues.
New version uploaded - see first post.
Also, am i the only one plagued by an over-sensitive touchscreen? - eg: keys unintentionally repeating. I figure it's an optimus one issue, but i might be the only one. That being said, my sister's samsung i5503 suffers from a similar problem but heat/static related as opposed to continually.

1. un-zip and Install the cool jazz font to your computer
2. Open the template in Photoshop
3. Next we need to make a new layer than select the horizontal text tool and change the text size to 72 pt. Now write what text you want on the lock screen. (you have to write what text you want for the lock screen in the rectangle box or the text wont be on the right spot on the lock screen. also if you have a long text you can change the font size until it fits in the box)

4. now we need to put a shadow on our text. right click on the text layer and go blending options, a window should pop up and then go to drop shadow. now in drop shadow customize the opacity, angle, distance, spread and size until you like it then press ok. (these are the values i used for my text opacity: 82, angle: 135, distance: 7, spread: 7 and size: 5)
5. now you can remove the rectangle layer and save the image as "jog_dial_bg.png" and change the format to png
6. open the textchanger.zip with 7-zip (or something similar) as a archive.
7. now navigate to vrtheme\system\framework\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\ and place your image in here
8. place the textchanger.zip onto your phone
9. now boot into recovery and flash the textchanger.zip
10. reboot your phone and the text should have changed

Hi devs,
During development of my app (see my signature), I researched a bit and finally found a quite nice way to implement a custom keyboard which is only shown in your app easily.
Much of this is taken from Maarten Pennings' awesome guide here, thanks to him and feel free to read it as well.
So I thought I'd extend his work with this guide which also takes a look at why you'd want to use one or the other keyboard. Enjoy! :victory:

Limits of the Android IME
Any kind of text input (password, number, address, etc.) is usually handled very nicely using the android:inputType attribute (or the corresponding setter in java) on the EditText field.
But as soon as you have to deny some characters, for instance you want the user to insert a file name, it gets more complicated since there is no inputType for that.
The way to achieve that would be to implement your own KeyListener like this:
Java:
import android.text.method.NumberKeyListener;
//...
// set a new KeyListener onto your desired EditText, overriding the default one:
EditText edit = findViewById(R.id.edittext);
edit.setKeyListener(new NumberKeyListener(){
@Override
public int getInputType() {
// should be the same as android:inputType, for all numbers including decimal and negative:
return (InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER | InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_DECIMAL | InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_SIGNED);
}
@Override
protected char[] getAcceptedChars() {
// declare your desired chars here, ONLY those will be accepted!
// for instance numbers:
char [] res = {'1', '2', '3',
'4', '5', '6',
'7', '8', '9',
'0', '+', '-', '*', '/',
'(', ')', '.', ',', ' ', '^', '!',
// alphabet:
'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e',
'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j',
'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o',
'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't',
'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y',
'z'
};
return res;
}
});
The problem is that the keys are still present and therefore distracting and irritating to the user, because nothing happens on click.
And also, there might be a much easier and better accessible layout for your set of keys. In the following I will tell you how to integrate such a custom layout using the KeyboardView class, but first let's take a look at the advantages of both keyboards:
Android IME or KeyboardView???
The answer to this question is tightly depending on the task you want the user to fulfil, and also on how much freedom you want to give him. The high customizablility and its theming options are a strong point for the KeyboardView, but be warned that since this View was added in API level 3 (and never updated I think) there are a couple of bugs which you have to workaround.
A standard keyboard is more familiar to the user and is often also a third-party keyboard and therefore more customizable. But this also has its downsides since there is no guarantee that the IME will display the characters you need.
Note that you will not be able to get a working cursor image easily with the KeyboardView (though the cursor works as it should, just the blue arrow below it won't be displayed).
For simple tasks where just a few buttons will be useless, such as when asking for a filename the normal IME is recommended. But for various operations you'll find the KeyboardView to be much cleaner.
If you decided to try the KeyboardView, here's how it works:
Adding a CustomKeyboard
NOTE: I will only cover how to implement such a Keyboard, if you want to know how it works in detail check out the third chapter in Maarten Pennings' guide.
First, since it is a view, you will need to manually insert the following to the xml layout file of all activities where you want to use it:
Code:
<android.inputmethodservice.KeyboardView
android:id="@+id/keyboardview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:visibility="gone" />
Put it in a relative layout container, though it should also work in other ones. Most important is that it is the topmost container in the view hierarchy.
Second, you need an xml file where all the keys and their layout are stored for the KeyboardView to inflate. For a start, you can take the one Maarten Pennings has posted or download mine here: View attachment keyboard_layout.txt (xda doesn't support .xml files, so just rename it to keyboard_layout.xml!)
Move that file to your res/xml/ folder, you can create other layouts for landscape using res/xml-land/
You have to play around with that file a bit to get your desired layout, here are some tips:
Start by designing it on paper, then write it as a comment (ASCII-Art?) so you have it properly lined up and always at your hand while coding
Including gaps of half a key or so to separate different areas works nicely
Highlight important keys either with a different android:keyBackground or by making them larger than the others.
Leave the android:horizontalGap attribute untouched on Keyboard level, this will probably break the key lineup
Calculate the key width like so: width = 100/(keysPerRow + numberOfGaps)
Set the android:keyHeight on Keyboard level to something that rows*keyHeight is about 40%-50%.
For every key label which is longer a single character, use the corresponding ASCII-integer as key code (android:codes), otherwise pick a negative number or one that's higher than 256
Use android:isRepeatable="true" for keys to press and hold for multiple clicks like the delete key
If you want to display a popup keyboard on hold, you should rather make a popup window yourself or use a dialog rather than using the androidopupKeyboard attribute.
For inserting more than one char on click, use the android:keyOutputText on key level or override the specific keycode in the onKey() method in CustomKeyboard.java
As I said, you will need some patience doing this since there is neither help nor documentation on the xml namespaces.
Third, there are a couple of icons required for some keys like the delete key. You can either use the ones provided in the guide, but I suggest downloading the original holo android icons from the different drawable folders here.
Take the sym_keyboard_... files that you think you'll need and place them in the respective res/drawable-ydpi folder. Set the android:keyIcon attribute to @drawable/sym_keyboard_... for those special keys.
Fourth, we need a java class to process the clicks and provide the methods for showing and hiding the keyboard. Luckily, you take mine here: View attachment CustomKeyboard.txt (again, rename it to CustomKeyboard.java)
Copy that file into your src/com/package/name and change the package to your app.
This class is heavily based of the one Maarten Pennings has come up with, but with an actually working cursor, so that you can tap or drag to move the cursor. I included haptic feedback (set it using enableHapticFeedback(true)) and an easy way to add chooser dialogs if you want to have multiple insertions in one key (see the onClick(...) method); This looks like this:
If you are using any special keys or dialogs as popups, you will need to edit the onKey() or the onClick() method like I did.
Fifth, in your onCreate() method after setContentView(...) you just need to register every EditText that you want to use the keyboard on like so:
Java:
// initialize the instance variable customKeyboard
customKeyboard = new CustomKeyboard(this, R.id.keyboardview, R.xml.keyboard_layout);
// register the edittext
customKeyboard.registerEditText(R.id.edittext);
For a hiding keyboard if you press the Back key, add the following to your activity:
Java:
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if(customKeyboard!=null && customKeyboard.isCustomKeyboardVisible() ) customKeyboard.hideCustomKeyboard(); else super.onBackPressed();
}
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Congrats, you have finished adding a CustomKeyboard and can now test and further improve it :good:
Read on if you want to theme it further (let's face it, the default theme is still from the first versions of android).
Theming your Keyboard
Theming the KeyboardView
To make your newly created keyboard fit more to the overall style of your app, it is crucial to theme it.
Here are some attributes which you'll want to customize:
Code:
<!-- on KeyboardView level: (in android.inputmethodservice.KeyboardView in your activity) -->
android:keyBackground
android:keyTextColor
android:keyTextSize
android:background
<!-- on Key level: -->
android:isSticky
<!-- for toggle keys like shift or ALT only -->
android:isModifier
These are all pretty self-explanatory, the most important one being the keyBackground.
You will need different drawables for each of the keys states including normal, pressed, active, popup and either light or dark theme.
As an example, here's how I made the holo style: Basically I took the holo drawables from source and added android:keyBackground="@drawable/btn_keyboard_key_ics" in our KeyboardView (not Keyboard!).
Download those icons from here.
Specifically, you need the btn_keyboard_key_ics.xml file in the drawable folder and all the btn_keyboard_key_... from the xhdpi, hdpi and mdpi folder that you need, at least btn_keyboard_key_dark_normal_holo and btn_keyboard_key_dark_pressed_holo.
The btn_keyboard_key_ics.xml goes into your res/drawable folder and all the others should be dumped into their respective res/drawable-ydpi folder.
From the key_ics file delete all items where you didn't download the .9.pngs so they don't give compilation errors.

That should be possible, although I have no idea about decompiling and modding. From what I understand, you could try making an XPosed module, that should work and is better since it can be applied at runtime.

Thanks for the tutorial, really helped me with my project as I need a custom keyboard. But I would like to ask, how do I add a second page to the keyboard as I need more entries to it. Is there a way to add like a small button in the keyboard 1/2 and when you press it, it'll go to the 2nd page of it.

I think I got it somehow.
I made a small key in the current keyboard. An example maybe like SYM which represents Symbol, so if you press it, it'll go to the view on keyboard full of symbols. Just had to repeat actually.
Edit: It seems like I can't post the code or part of it. Says that my post was flagged by the system and was blocked from submitting. I want to show how, but it seems it doesn't allow me haha.

Lol sometimes the system is against us..., well nice you figured it out
I am lost/stuck
First off I would like to thank Simplicity for such a simple guide and tutorial on how to set the custom keyboard up. Secondly even if it was very simple I obviously cannot follow directions and have done something wrong and even though my custom keyboard pops up and I am able to press the button, I am not able to get the edittext field to register the onclicks of the keys thus resulting in the buttons doing nothing. I have pmed Simplicity and was requested by him to post this question in the thread for others in case anyone else runs into this issue.
I have attached both the xml and java file to the post.
Hope someone can help and also hope this problem I ran into will help others if they are stuck at the same place.
Once again a big big big Thanks to SimplicityApks.

Had a look at your class and the xml keyboard layout again and everything seems fine to me so far... Question is how you implemented the keyboard in your activity layout and what happens when you register your text field in the onCreate(). It would be helpful if you could show us these parts of your code.
Other than that, does your onKey() method in the CustomKeyboard get called when you press a key? (Put a Log.d(..) statement or debug stopped in there to find out)

Hey sorry for the late response I just figured out what the problem was but now I have no idea how to fix it. The problem is here
Code:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:paddingTop="10dp"
android:padding="10dp"
android:descendantFocusability="beforeDescendants"
[COLOR="Red"]android:focusableInTouchMode="true" //This Right here is the problem[/COLOR]
android:weightSum="6" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/billtotalTV"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:paddingLeft="25dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="3"
android:text="Bill Amount:"
android:textColor="#B34F6675"
android:textSize="25sp" />
<EditText
android:id="@+id/et"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:paddingRight="25dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="Enter Total"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:textColor="#049C7A"
android:textColorHint="#B3049C7A"
android:inputType="numberDecimal"
android:imeOptions="actionDone"
android:maxLength="7"
android:textSize="30sp"
android:layout_weight="3"/>
</LinearLayout>
The Reason I have that is because I am trying to avoid my app from setting my EditText as a focus as soon as the activity starts. As far as I am aware I do not know of any other methods that can work around that. Let me know what you think I should do.

So you mean it works perfectly without the focusableInTouchMode="true"? Strange... Then just leave the focus there and hide the softkeyboard in your onCreate() or is there any other reason you don't to have it in focus except for the soft keyboard popping up? (Then set the focus to another view might be the easiest ).

I tried hiding the softkeyboard but for some reason it wont hide it just keeps popping up. And he main reason I do not want a focus is because I have a drawerlayout on the app and it contains 3 edit texts so everytime I open the drawer layout it invokes the keyboard to pop up and it selects the edit text which I do not want because its a feature where users may customize the value which they dont need to if they dont want too. As of setting focus to another view I believe I tried that but the edit text still receives the focus for some reason. Mind giving me an example of setting focus on something else? So i can make sure I am doing it right. Maybe a Linear or Relative Layout .
I just tried to hide the keyboard and just realized I am already hiding the keyboard but I am only hiding the default keyboard not the custom keyboard. So my question for you would be how would I hide the Custom Keyboard from showing oncreate?(tried this but no luck customKeyboard.hideCustomKeyboard(); ) it still shows but it does work because i tried it with an onlclick just not working on start. Not sure if you need to edit the customkeyboard java file. If you want I can post the test code im working with right now if you dont mind looking at it.
I AM NOT THE DEV OR A BETA TESTER!

There is a security code for rom, which given to beta testers. Crack will let us baypass this code.
LOL first time hear About this XD ill give it a try when i got home thx
The Crack could be a virus or something sinister. From when did android need a Crack?
Don't try it out Or do it with a great risk!

Hi, checked the thread. I know what a hydrogen os is.. But even that thread is not indicating what is the purpose of the Crack...
Do you know what it does?

Every beta tester gets a unique code to use at the startup of the rom. The crack bypasses that.
That's something unique, a new information for me.
Thanks @UnknownGeek for indicating this.
Well as long as it is harmless, it is fine.
I'd Just been a bit doubtful since a lot of sites would have Crack with Trojans in many sites. That's all

It is very smooth and minimal, not many apps installed. But most important is that it is Multirom compatible. It had MiUI type horizontal launcher, permissions manager, custom UC styled browser, Baidu IME, a custom market, Google play store and some chinese app I couldn't guess at. I havent installed many apps so its is quite responsive. And there is no quick settings in the notification drop down.

Oh, I didn't realize that, these Chinese OEMs and their need to mimic fruits. The "pull up" gesture is a bit glitchy. I haven't stressed the phone yet, but doesn't seem to heat up much.

No double tap to wake
I made a mirror (mega.co.nz) https://goo.gl/ZqwRKV
is this rom using camera2 API? long exposure seems broken. try lots of apps but the longest expose time is 1sec. also default camera app is missing.
